What used to be that the guy always paid is something that many talk about. Why is this? There used to be the saying that the guy always pays. However, as there are more guys without jobs and more things that are becoming more accepting in society, many wonder if it's becoming acceptable that the woman pays for the man at some time.

We think this is okay, but long as you don't have to do it every time. There are many couples who take turns. Take for instance my husband and I. He gets paid every other week. There are times that on the weeks that he doesn't get paid and I just don't feel like cooking, I take him out. There are weeks that when he gets paid he treats me to things. It's a win win situation if you ask those involved.

There are some who think that their bills should even separate or split even. Some find this totally appalling and say that the money should be joined together. For instance, my husband and I think differently. We pay our own bills. While I'm paying student loans I pay those with the money I earn. Same for his doctors bills.

Then there are the issue of things that you two feel you need but don't have the money for. Should you put some of your money up to help pay for it? While back in the day it was said to be no and you did the shopping with his money, many women both in a dating relationship and those that are married use their own. If they don't have the money, then they don't do something. That's how that works.

In today's society, women try to stand on their own two feet. Too many women have been burned by men who have tried to control them with money issues. Women didn't have the money to go do things because they stayed at home and this was how men controlled them in some cases. Now, many women even if they are stay at home do something to where they have their own money to spend. I do writing which is how you are reading this to pay for those things I want to do and feel my husband shouldn't' have to pay for. You don't have to agree with it if you don't want to but this is something you have to decide as a couple.

Society will keep trying to tell you how to do things. This si why you have to take the stand and come to a decision as to what you are going to do> When you do this, you have a better understanding as to what you will do differently and what traditions you will follow.

While it should be 50-50 it can't always be like that. Bills still have to get paid and unseen costs do arise. But there are women who feel they don't need a man to support them. Deidre Dorsett - Author 2010-07-15 09:30:47 46
In the olden days men worked and made money, while women stayed home. Men had to pay and it was righteous. But now times changed and while women demand more and more rights they can't seem to be willing to accept that they ought to give and not only receive. Today, everybody works equally. So it's only right for women to pay once in a while. However the best solution is always to do 50-50. And for those of you who are willing to find the perfect man, here's a top tip. Every man, no matter how rich he is, finds a woman who always expect him to pay annoying, unjust and irritating. My suggestion is. Women, always offer to pay your share, and you'll see that at least 7 times out of 10 men will your appreciate the gesture and pay for you. And buy you one more drink right after.
